off topic - how long does it take from Ft Lauderdale A.P., to Miami IAP, by car

40 minutes with no traffic. All bets off otherwise.

 

Will you be getting checked luggage on arrival at FLL? Don't dawdle, especially if you need to find parking at MIA, and anything can happen on I95 between FLL and MIA. For international flights it's a good idea to get there a couple of hours before boarding because TSA at MIA is usually a cockup. If you're flying first class certain airlines provide expedited TSA screening.

Wherever you're going, have a great time!

 

Friday night between 5-7 PM is the worst time to travel on I-95, Sunday was ok, during the week is the pits.

 

Well, if he's talking about today, he probably won't see this, but you're right. I never like to cut it this close on international flights, especially at MIA.

 

It should be but you never know.

What Friday? If it’s Devember 7th that’s during Art Basel and traffic will be an absolute nightmare.

Lol, it’s taken me two hours to get home to FTL from Miami at 2am before. One little hiccup there and it’s hell.

 

If you will be collecting checked luggage at FLL, and then trying to get to MIA two hours before your international departue, no, three hours is not enough time.

If you can fly direct to MIA you could eliminate a big chunk of anxiety.

 

Do this, less stress.

 

One day st a time sometimes one hr at a time! Sorry but true
